Butterflies

Seeking never ceases to make me nervous, I always have a glass of wine to get my courage up to sew and cut something that I have put so much time and effort in to. No matter how many times I do it, I still need to muster up the courage. To date, everything has been just fine, and I have not ruined anything.

This sweater and set is being made for my granddaughter to be. I love the butterflies, and they hold special meaning to my family. My sister Anita, and my mother both loved butterflies. Whenever I see butterflies in the spring, it always brings both of them to mind. I knew when I saw this pattern that I had to make it.

The colors are so lovely and fun to work with. Makes any grey day brighter. And the steeking, after a nice glass of red wine, proved not to be so bad. Just have to make sure to pull the strings to the opposite side when sewing.

And once this is done, the cutting is actually fun, and you open up the tube, now it starts to look more like a sweater to be.

This is progressing nicely, now for the details and edging. I still have to set in the sleeves, which is not my favorite part I must say. It involves 2 more steaks, and another glass of wine.

This is so darling! I can imagine how you feel cutting your work. Remember how I cut that sweater that took me months/years to make???? I was so traumatized that I never returned to fully sew it up. Still hoping you’ll finish it for me next time you visit.

I really recommend taking a class for the first time, accompanied by a glass of wine, and a big breath. I still have a glass of wine ot calm my nerves. I think that the sleeve cutting makes me more nervous than the front steek.
